HP dc7600 mother board question

Ok.

I'm not educated on WHS 2011. One of the other members maybe though. Regardless though you would need to up-grade the current processor to start with to handle 64Bit.

Lets see what others may say about it.

I've continued looking online for info about this. And I came across this on the Intel site - Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 630 supporting HT Technology (2M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

So out of curiosity, if this is info about my processor, wouldnt the "Instruction Set - 64 bit" mean that it's able to handle a 64 bit OS??

Good research! It appears you maybe correct.

[dar124]

Not that I didnt trust you Zep, but I just didnt want to believe that I had gotten this far and didnt have the correct processor.

Guess I'll know for sure in the next week or so when I try to load WHS.

I just didn't have enough information or confident enough to confirm it and say "yeah" that will work! and I still can't, it's not my area or one where I'm a 100% about things.

No worries Zep, I wasnt 100% sure about it either, and that's why I posted here to ask.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out when I get a few minutes.
